Pass accuracy

Organisation

• Organise players into small teams of 6-8 and make up a relay course
• The players can be in lines or patterns and you can choose different ways for them to send and receive the ball, with the last player always shooting into a goal
• Players keep switching positions so that they all get the chance to shoot and score
• Be creative, adapt to the players' abilities and make it a race to keep it fun and exciting

Ways to make the exercise easier

• Keep the players close together and allow them to throw and catch the ball

Ways to make the exercise harder

• Increase the distance between players
• Add extra balls or make the challenge more difficult
• Add goalkeepers from other teams to try and stop the ball

Great questions to ask the players

• Can you work together as a team?
• Can you take great care in making sure the last player scores in the goal?
• Can you race the other teams and make lots of noise when you finish?

Safety Points

• Create a safe space to play 

Organisation

• Organise an outer circle for 8-10 players and an inner circle that contains some targets/cones. Ask for two or three volunteers to protect the targets and the players on the outside have to see how long it takes them to knock them all down
• The players take turns to have a go at protecting the cones, and the winners are those who protect them for the longest!

Ways to make the exercise easier

• Only one player protects the cones
• The players on the outside roll the ball to start with

Ways to make the exercise harder

• Increase to three players protecting the ball/cones/targets
• The players have to kick/pass the ball to hit the targets

Great questions to ask the players

• When you are defending the cones, can you stay on your toes and keep looking all the time?
• When you are attacking, can you try to shoot when the defender is not looking?

Safety Points

• The players should try to keep the ball on the ground
• Create a safe space to play

Organisation

• Organise three teams of 4-5 players; you can have uneven teams if needed
• Each team defends its own goal and tries to score in the other two
• All players play at the same time, so they compete against two other teams

Ways to make the exercise easier

• You can play with more than one ball

Ways to make the exercise harder

• Each team can have a goalkeeper

Great questions to ask the players

• Can you try to play as a team?
• Can you identify the other two goals that you need to score in?
• Can you try to defend your own goal?

Safety Points

• Create safe zones between other pitches if you have them
